Back From the Apocalyptic Future 056 - Tennis Ball Drill
Twenty four hours have passed since the last time Arifin consumed a blood crystal. He immediately consumes another one to treat his injury. It leaves him with only two blood crystals left.There will only be less than two hours before the sunset, and he hasn't done his daily quests at all. But that kind of training regime isn’t an issue for him anymore. He just leaves the house and starts running slowly as a warm up.It shocks Mike a bit, to find Arifin has really been recovered just like what Tony said. Another five minutes or so, Mike sees Arifin coming back from the other direction after he has done one lap of running around the housing complex.“Hey, what about your injury?” he asks as Arifin passes him.“All healed,” replies Arifin shortly.“Damn!” Mike rubs his head as he keeps looking at Arifin from behind. “Does that mean he also has a high healing factor?”“Nope!” Tony suddenly appears from behind, and starts doing some stretching. “He is still a normal human in that aspect.”
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 057 - Minda's Confusing Perspective
Tony stops for a moment to hear Arifin’s last words. But then he just smiles with a silly expression, and waves his hand once before turning away.He heads to the front yard to find something that he can do. That’s when he finds Minda coming over to Arifin’s house. And he knows so sure, she is here to look for Arifin.“Um, hello!” Minda greets him by bowing his head slightly.“Hey, you don’t need to greet me this way anymore. I’m no longer the senior who is going to bully you. If you are looking for Arifin, he is in the backyard.”Minda replies to him with a smile, still nodding his head a bit as she walks past him. But then she suddenly stops and turns back, because she feels like she hears Tony saying something albeit not clearly.“Yes?” she asks.“What? Did I say something?” asks Tony with his ignorant face.“Ah, no! It’s nothing,” replies Minda.She looks down again as a way to hide her face, and immediately takes her leaves. She believes she heard Tony saying something just now.
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 058 - A Man From The Past
Tony scrunches his face, looking so unhappy with what Arifin said to him. “Did you think I’m someone who likes having dirty thoughts?” He then averts his attention to Minda, and brings his face with so much suspicion, like a prosecutor trying to expose the guilt of a criminal. “Minda! Did you really read his mind just now?” “No, I didn’t do it!” “But you did hear things that I just thought,” Arifin refutes Minda is silent for a moment. But then she just shakes her head by scrunching her face like she is holding her cries. “Are you stupid? Thinking that I’m able to read others' minds? I’m not a freak!” “No, you must be in denial,” says Tony. “Minda, listen!” Arifin approaches her again. “I’m not blaming you if you are able to read my mind. I just want to make sure. Now try it again! Try to guess what number I’m thinking right now.” But Minda just shakes her head, no longer hears weird things like before. She just holds her head, and then starts crying. “This is not what I’m co
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 059 - The Half Beast
Arifin’s dad appears, intending to turn on the floodlights in the backyard. This housing complex is actually surrounded by a high concrete wall. Except for the east part which is directly adjacent to the forest behind Arifin's house. The sky is still quite bright with the red and orange clouds during the sun set. Arifin is almost forgetting that this much illuminate won’t be enough to ward off those Dilopho monsters away. “Have the other floodlights been turned on, Dad?” “Easy! They have taken your words like holy scripture. Have you showered yet? Don't bathe too late, you might get sick!” The dad gets back inside the house. And Arifin, he is now thinking about his option to take that side quest. He has completed his daily training regime. And the system is offering him a side quest hunting dedemit creatures to collect the blood and soul crystals. He planned to skip it for tonight. But after listening to Mike’s story about the Bunian Realm, he finds the urge to make sure whether
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 060 - The Alpha Lycan
A scream of pain suddenly echoes breaking the silence of the night, shaking Tony’s attention from his reverie. He sees Arifin jumping around from a tree, trying to reach the evil spirits he is going to kill.The more evil spirits Arifin slays, the more chaotic the scream is, and the more Tony finds the reason to just leave that place.“I can’t stay here. They are monsters! It was a bad decision to follow them.”Mike, with his monstrous hands and sharp fingers, easily butchers the zombies’ neck. As if he knows how to handle these demons, he mostly aims their heads and necks.“It seems like he is really familiar with these creatures,” mumbles Arifin.Arifin is having a bit of leisure time after he clears those evil spirits. His attention is back to the notification that the system gives to him.The truth is, the system has given him a weird quest since morning, since the time Mike enters his room.[Side Quest!][A dangerous entity detected. Kill him before he becomes a hindrance]Reward
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 061 - A Fight Between Alpha Males
Arifin pulls back his shirt. His face looks so sour, showing he still doesn’t trust Mike.There’s no way he is going to talk about that system, while the system itself is asking him to kill Mike. Even that side quest notification is still waiting for his response until now.Out of nowhere, they suddenly hear a high-pitched shriek of some creature. A moment later, they find something just hit one of the floodlights on the tree.That one floodlight is broken, and one small Dilophopapio monster is found under the tree.“What is this creature? Monkey?”“It’s one of the monsters that was brought by the meteor,” replies Arifin. “They are aiming for our floodlights,” grumbles Arifin.That one small monster is still moving albeit badly injured. Right after it manages to get back to its feet, it suddenly rushes toward Arifin and Mike wildly.Mike is backing off, not wanting to dirty his suit.“Can you kill it yourself?”Arifin takes one step forward, delivers one down stroke, and kills that sm
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 062 - He Will Be Just Fine
One huge swing from the alpha gorilla comes. It’s not clear if it is trying to hug or to slam Mike’s face. But Mike immediately ducks down, and delivers a quick hook several times on the monster’s ribs.He follows it with some combos like a genuine boxer. The only difference is that he isn’t clenching his fists. He hits the monster by trusting his sharp and powerful fingers.Pieces of flesh and blood are flying around in the air. That monster groans so wild each time it gets hit. It tries to retaliate, waving his huge arms around, but the fight is really so one-sided.Meanwhile, Arifin has already reached his home. Tony comes to him looking so worried, but Arifin ignores him.“Have you seen Prof. Irwan?”“Oh, he is with your dad next door,” replies Tony.Arifin rushes out impatiently. He finds a few of Mike’s men are still in his house at the terrace. He tells them that Mike might be in danger in the woods. But none of them shows any concern.“Mike is in danger in the woods?” mumbles
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 063 - Alterations
That old man Acil shakes his head with some silly expression. He expresses how hard it is to imagine that Mike would find a situation that forced him to turn into his full form.That’s when Mike tells Arifin about the kind of monster he just encountered, explaining about the probability who might be the one who aimed their spotlight.“Its body looks like a big gorilla, about 4 or maybe 5 meters high. But the head is like the head of a T. Rex, with two fins and tentacles. Can you imagine it?”Acil just scrunches his face, thinking that Mike is only making a joke by exaggerating his description about the monster he was fighting.“That’s just like the kind of monster we found last week. But, are you sure about the height?” that old man doubts.“That’s the Alpha Dilophopapio,” Arifin affirms. “It’s like each pack has their own boss. I fought the same monster yesterday at the university.”On the way back home, Mike deliberately takes them to the place where he fought. He himself is only tr

121 - Give Me Your Soul (Extra)
Meanwhile, in Westerpark. It’s a place that used to be a famous picturesque working-class neighborhood in Amsterdam. But it has been wrecked havoc by the alien monsters, and not so many people are still alive there right now. But there is still one beautiful mansion standing tall on one hill, with high concrete walls protecting that 2 hectares area. In fact, there’s only one family living in this area consisting of only four people. There is one underground lab right below that mansion. And there is one man in his white coat looking so desperate in front of his personal research book. “No, this is not what I want,” he cries slowly, grabbing his yellow hair in desperation. He leaves his desk, approaching one monitor which displays the work of his supercomputer in doing some kind of simulation. Not too far from that monitor, there is a unique wavy dagger with an asymmetrical shape being displayed in a glass case. That scientist only comes to observe the DNA splicing simulation being

120 - The Night Vigilante (Closure)
Arifin also takes a glance at the other one who hasn’t done anything so far, which is Luis the lizard man. That man has grown his tail quite long, and no longer wears any pants at the moment. But his face is so pale, feeling intimidated by just Arifin’s gaze. Even right now, that man isn’t noticing that the bottom part of his body has turned into its beast form. He just turns by instinct, due to the danger he feels after watching how easily Arifin bullied Zaw Min. “So, you are going to turn into a cold-blooded reptile now?” asks Arifin as he prepares to handle that man, who used to be a hitman for the mafia. “But, what’s with that pitiful face?” “Ah?” Luis is shaken from his reverie, and only realizes that all the bottom part of his body has turned into the lizard legs and one big and long tail at his butt. “Well, I haven't had any big expectations from you since the beginning,” continues Arifin as he keeps walking intending to take his leave. At first, he did have an intention t

119 - Disappointment
Those three are just the exact three men who betrayed Arifin in his previous life, especially Zaw Min and Jaidee. Just seeing their faces is already enough to provoke Arifin’s madness which helps him enter his Trance State.“Hey, Zaw Min!” calls Luis as he slowly turns his two hands into the shape of a lizard. “They said we only need to hold him down for an hour. We can’t kill him because the Colonel wants him so bad. Isn’t this an insult?”“Not really! I also want him to join us. You just don’t know what this man is capable of,” replies Zaw Min, who is currently looking so excited to see Arifin for the second time.“Cih! We can’t kill him, huh!” grumbles Jaidee with his annoyed face. “Then, let me handle him myself. It won’t be good if you accidentally kill him with your sabers.”“Stop bickering, you weak ass! Come anytime you want!” Arifin interferes by showing his mad face.Those words effectively make Jaidee so furious. He immediately demonstrates his skills in unarmed combat as a

118 - A Reunion
He can’t simply tell that to Colonel Fermin. Because he doesn’t want to be seen as ridiculous any further.But then when he goes outside, he finds a few soldiers are lying on the ground. The situation becomes hectic as there are a few evil spirits infiltrating this medical area.Thankfully, those three shamans, even though they are not combatant-type of awakened people, they know some ways to repel those evil spirits. After all, they are not too many, since the corrupted aura that Arifin releases is somewhat weaker than usual.For the next two days, few dedemits and evil spirits keep coming during the night. Only in the next morning, Arifin is back to his consciousness.“Oh, you are awake?” One nurse approaches him and checks his condition.“Where am I?” asks Arifin as he tries to get up.But the nurse forces him to stay on the bed. “You've been unconscious for more than two days. You should just rest until you are completely recovered.”“Two days?” mumbles Arifin.He then checks his

117 - He Is Cursed
Mike looks up, and sees Dr. Cohen hovering in the air in his beast form. And the one who just hurt Mike’s chest, Marcus, is currently perching on a branch.“That accent? An American?” asks Mike.“Yes, I’m an American,” replies Dr. Cohen nonchalantly.“Which means you are the people from the Defiance Atlantis,” Mike continues.“Hohohoo! You guess right for the second time. And guess what, our organization highly values beast-type awakened warriors like you. Why don't you join…”Mike doesn’t even let him finish his words. He jumps so quickly after running on the tree trunk, and catches Dr. Cohen off guard.“So fast,” mumbles Dr. Cohen as he holds Mike’s right hand who has stabbed his chest right on his heart.Mike makes a turn and throws Dr. Cohen to the ground. As he lands, three of Dr. Cohen’s men immediately cover their boss.“Javier, we have to buy time to let Dr. Cohen recuperate,” issues Roberto.Both Javier and Marcus intend to attack, but Mike just stands there by releasing a su

116 - The Ritual's Premature Ending
Right now, all the dedemits and evil spirits begin to look mad like before. However, they no longer hunt Arifin, but only the people who have been marked as the target.Some flesh tendrils also crawl to the building, and then pull so many female employees from the second floor, including Naomi.“Dr. Cohen, help me!”Roberto frees her and the other female employees by cutting all of those tendrils. But all of them who have been bitten, are now in the similar situation as Arifin. Their wounds are leaking the corrupted aura, which makes all those demonic creatures so eager to kill them.“Dr. Cohen! What should we do now?” asks Javier half-shouting. “We can’t stay here forever.”It’s not that hard for Javier to deal with the dedemits. But the evil spirit, he can’t even touch them until now. But those creatures have been stealing his life force every time he tries to hit them.There are some balloons made of viscous membrane popping out on that throbbing flesh. It then explodes like pus of

115 - Name Your Sacrifice
The kid then turns silent, waiting for Arifin to reply to his offer. He even draws his ear closer, as if provoking Arifin to plead.Arifin knows that the Grace she loves has already died in the future. And she admits that he hasn’t been that close with this current Grace either.They are still like strangers so far, and he never thought of getting close together with her like in his previous life. Because he doesn’t want to put her in a life full of danger.But he can’t just ignore her after knowing she is still alive. More than Andini, right now saving Grace is much more important to him. At least, to pay back what Grace did for him in his previous life.“Please,” he mumbles with a low voice.“What? I can’t hear you,” says the kid with a kind of childish manner.“Please, help me!”The kid chuckles again with an amused face. “Sadly, I’m just an illusion. There’s no way I can harm them. But that kris can. All you need to do is stab the kris to the ground, and tell the kris what you tru

114 - Ask My Help
Arifin looks so confused, mixed with desperation which starts to resurface in his eyes. Meanwhile, Dr. Cohen is just observing from above, grinning devilishly as he controls Andini’s mind and body.Oddly enough, the other four beast-type awakened soldiers are trying to make the dedemits busy with them, and prevent them from getting close to Arifin. But Javier, as he finds an opening with Arifin is still occupied by Andini’s oddity, slams Arifin’s from the side with his shoulder.>That last collision has left some cracks on two of Arifin’s ribs. He coughs up blood, and his physical condition is also dropping to 14 %.Dr. Cohen flies lower and starts persuading Arifin once more. It’s clear he really has great interest in Arifin and doesn’t want to kill him. He doesn’t care that much that all the facilities that Defiance Atlantis built for him in this place are destroyed, as long as he gets Arifin to join him.“Why? Why Arifin, why? Yo

Four floodlights have also fallen due to the chaos created by these unstoppable demons. More than half of the guards have died too. Those four beast-type awakened warriors have no other options but to help protect the few guards who still survive, while still keeping track of Arifin’s action.As they are busy in that chaos, a few people come out of the building through the main hallway. It attracts Arifin’s attention, and finds Jack and Rizal taking the ladies from the same group as Grace. But there’s no Grace amongst them.“Jack, where’s Grace and Andini?” asks Arifin as he intends to approach them.But his left leg is held down by one dedemit which has lost its legs. He just destroys the dedemits head by kicking it once.“Watt is still inside trying to get them out,” shouts Jack from afar.“What takes him so long?”“Unlike these people, their rooms are locked,” answers Rizal.Their conversation catches Dr. Cohen’s attention. That’s when he learns Arifin’s real reason why he is so in
